While it's still available to buy in some markets, it's been replaced by the 2022 11th-gen Kindle that boasts a 300ppi screen resolution. The lowest screen resolution was on the 10th-generation Amazon Kindle at 167ppi. All the newer models (launched since 2021) use the E Ink Carta 1200 display that makes text appear sharper, with better screen contrast, as compared to the older E Ink Carta HD tech. When it comes to screen technology, both Kobo and Kindle ereaders are pretty much the same across the board.

It’s worth knowing that some of the Kindles are available for a slightly lower price in the UK and the US if you don’t mind seeing adverts. the 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite Kids ($159.99 / £149.99 – unavailable in Australia).And that makes the available Kindles a little cheaper but, again, not all models are available in all regions. Only the Kobo Forma and the older Elipsa Pack still carry the same price they arrived with.

#Yesno calibre kobo read series
FictFact (now defunct) was another popular resource for tracking one's progress reading fiction series as well as for receiving alerts when next-in-series books were released.

LibraryThing is a similar, popular resource.Ģ.

Goodreads is my primary method of keeping track of books I've read (as well as books I am currently reading, that I want to read, and that I have abandoned and don't plan to finish). Is there a way or an add on that I can use in the library to show that a book that has already been read?Others have already asked if you're specifically referring to calibre, so I'll focus my response on other methods for tracking books one has read.ġ.
